Does Coefficient work with both Google Sheets and Excel?

Im stuck at one point. I'm trying to use countif formula to determine how many times a word of a string of words appear but sometimes there are two entries in a single cell and I have separated them by a slash. The countif formula doesn't seem to capture it. I'll show an example attached to this.
Avenger Iron Man comes two times and Avenger Iron Man Red comes two times but somehow the countif doesn't capture the word after the slash.
(for your information this is just a basic example. My actual spreadsheet is massive and has a lot of entries separated by slash. 99 percent of the time I can filter by using a unique word. But when similar words come then it just fails). Any help would be appreciated.
Hello all. I have a spreadsheet that I'm using to track recipes in a game that I'm playing. I have checkboxes in column A to track whether or not I have already made the recipe. The ingredients for each recipe are in columns E-I. Off to the side, I have listed every possible ingredient, and I would like to use the COUNTIF function to track how many of each ingredient I would need to make all of the remaining recipes. I cannot for the life of me figure out the best way to have it only pull from rows where the checkbox value is FALSE. Should I be using COUNTIFS? I've dabbled in Google Sheets functions before, but I am by no means a pro. Any help is appreciated.
Edit:
Here's the spreadsheet (only the first sheet matters, the other sheet is a work in progress for the DLC): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PHjt_mjd18MGHiMKyFS52exw3wp0QbAtSroCXfNYw5s/edit?usp=sharing
It will likely have been solved by now, but I ran accross this and figured to give my input
=COUNTIF(a2:a51;"*iPad*")
The important thing is that separating parameters in google docs is using a ; and not a ,
In case someone is still looking for the answer, this worked for me:
=COUNTIF(A2:A51, "*" & B1 & "*")
B1 containing the iPad string.
